Rod-hanger anchor eases overhead work

The WedgeBolt anchor now comes in a rod-hanger version. The anchors, available in ¼-in. and ⅜-in. diameters, feature an internally-threaded head for respectively-sized rod attachments. All the anchors are installed with a standard ANSI drill bit and are said to achieve higher load capacities at a lower installed cost than traditional methods. Because the hole's diameter is equal to the anchor diameter, no hole spotting is required. This is an especially added benefit for overhead applications. The versatile anchor is also removable.
